She was so sweet, but more often than not, was doing this:

Screaming!!!

An Emily story:

When Emily was three years old, she was learning how to write her alphabet. One day, she came to me with a paper she had written all her letters on. She handed it to me and said, "How's that, Mommy?" I looked over the paper and said, "That's great Emily, but these are backwards and these other ones aren't quite right." She looked at me, shrugged, and said, "Close enough!" Then she turned and skipped off. Yep! That's my Em! :)
